ERROR: Code load retried.
FAIL: Code load failed.
The load of the code from ROM to RAM failed. The load is retried a
number of times. Each time a failure occurs, the ERROR message is
displayed. If the maximum number of attempts is reached, the FAIL
message is displayed.
INFO: Initial download succeeded.
The start-up tests and download are complete, and the switch software
is about to be started. If the default install is a compressed release, the
release will now be decompressed. This may take a few seconds.
INFO: Downloading compressed release. This may take up to 1
minute...
INFO: Loading software into memory. This may take up to 1
minute...
The main switch software is about to be loaded into RAM. If the release
is a compressed release, the release will be decompressed.
INFO: Executing configuration script <script-name>
The configuration commands stored in <script-name> are being
executed. If an error is found in the script, one or more ERROR
messages will be displayed.
INFO: Switch startup complete.
The start-up process is complete and the switch will now perform basic
switching operations. Further configuration will be necessary if you wish to
access the switch’s full switching capabilities. See the AT-8700XL Series Software
Reference for detailed information on configuring the switch.
Switch Interfaces
This section provides pin assignments for the switch’s RS-232 Terminal Port
and RJ-45 ports, and the Redundant Power Supply (RPS) connector.
RS-232 Terminal Port
The RS-232 Terminal Port is used to connect the switch to a management
device. For management purposes the switch’s software can be accessed from a
terminal, a PC running terminal emulation software, or from a remote location
via a modem connection. You can also use the RS-232 Terminal Port to establish
a network connection from a remote site using SLIP and a modem.
The switch’s RS-232 Terminal Port has a DCE female socket. This allows the use
of a straight-through cable when connecting the switch to a terminal or PC.
Output from the SHOW ASYN command will, however, still have a DTE
perspective. The internal DTE pin roles are listed in Table 3 on page 14.
See Terminal and Modem Cables on page 20 for more information on
connection options for the RS-232 Terminal Port.
